Change is dynamic and positive in nature. Change pre-supposes stability and growth. Identifying and implementing right changes at the right time is the challenging task of modern management. Any change emulates resistance due to inherent inertia and fear. Change agents' job is to eliminate the fear and instill confidence to successfully implant the change. Change management is the art of blending the diverse responses with the discrete organizational goals in an ever-changing business environment. Change management is never a one shot replacement but a sequenced stage by stage progress towards elimination of resistance in favor of the change objective.

Abstract The main challenge for internal change agents is to overcome the ambiguity of their role as members of the organization who at the same time have to manage change in the organization. These challenges lead to the emergence of various boundaries encountered in organizations, which need to be spanned with the right strategy for change to be managed effectively. Unfortunately, there have not been many guidelines and training specifically provided to internal change agents, particularly regarding the constraints encountered and strategies for overcoming those boundaries. Generally, available training programs and guidance provided develop the ability to manage change in general. This self-guided manual for internal change agents aims to develop the ability of internal change agents, especially in overcoming the ambiguity of their role in the organization, by recognizing the boundaries they face and strategies for breaking those boundaries. This guide was developed based on the results of previous research that qualitatively explored the role of internal change agents in managing change in organizations, particularly in recognizing the boundaries encountered and their strategies for breaking boundaries so that organizational change can take place effectively. There are 3 stages carried out, namely 1) preparation, 2) guide development, and 3) evaluation and dissemination. This guidebook with the title “Spanning Boundaries, Becoming a Reliable Internal Change Agent” is organized into 4 parts, namely: Section (1) Organizational Change and the Role of Change Agents, (2) Boundaries Found in Implementing Change, (3) Strategies to Overcome Boundaries, (4) Personal Characters Needed to Overcome Boundaries and How to Develop It. It is hoped that because it is based on empirical data, the guidelines that have been compiled can develop the insight of internal change agents to be able to answer the concrete challenges faced to be able to manage change effectively. Keywords: Self-Guided Manual, Internal Change Agent, Boundary Spanning, Change Management   Abstrak Tantangan utama agen perubahan internal adalah mengatasi ambiguitas perannya sebagai anggota organisasi yang pada saat yang bersamaan harus mengelola perubahan di organisasi. Tantangan ini menyebabkan munculnya berbagai batasan yang ditemui dalam organisasi, yang perlu dapat diretas dengan strategi yang tepat agar perubahan dapat dikelola secara efektif. Sayangnya belum banyak ditemukan panduan dan pelatihan yang khusus diberikan kepada agen perubahan internal, khususnya terkait dengan batasan yang ditemui dan strategi untuk meretas batasan tersebut. Umumnya program pelatihan dan panduan yang diberikan mengembangkan kemampuan mengelola perubahan secara umum. Panduan mandiri (self guided manual) untuk agen perubahan internal ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan kemampuan agen perubahan internal, khususnya dalam mengatasi ambiguitas perannya dalam organisasi, dengan mengenali batasan yang dihadapi serta strategi meretas batasan tersebut. Panduan ini dikembangkan berdasar hasil penelitian yang dilakukan sebelumnya yang mengeksplorasi secara kualitatif peran agen perubahan internal dalam mengelola perubahan dalam organisasi, khususnya dalam mengenali batasan yang ditemui serta strategi mereka dalam meretas batasan agar perubahan organisasi dapat berlangsung secara efektif. Terdapat 3 tahapan yang dijalankan, yakni tahapan 1) persiapan, 2) pengembangan panduan, dan 3) evaluasi dan diseminasi. Panduan dengan judul “Meretas Batasan, Menjadi Agen Perubahan Internal yang Handal” disusun menjadi 4 bagian, yakni: Bagian (1) Perubahan Organisasi dan Peran Agen Perubahan, (2) Boundary yang Ditemui dalam Mengimplementasi Perubahan, (3) Strategi Mengatasi Boundary, (4) Karakter Personal yang Dibutuhkan untuk Mengatasi Boundary dan Cara Mengembangkannya. Diharapkan karena didasarkan pada data empiris, maka panduan yang disusun dapat mengembangkan wawasan agen perubahan internal untuk dapat menjawab tantangan konkrit yang dihadapi agar mampu mengelola perubahan secara efektif.

Change management theory is extensive, and organisations constantly adapt to and embrace change. In post-apartheid South Africa we are building a racially integrated business environment and society, and leverage its competitive re-entry into the world business arena. Research to date has found that the majority of change initiatives fail due to resistance caused by poor conceptualisation and planning, and the lack of proper integration of the people and business dimensions of change. The model to implement a successful change program will be designed using a combination of readily available skills and techniques. Its development and testing will take place within the context of three case studies. OpsommingDie teorie van veranderingsbestuur is omvattend. Organisasies moet op konstante wyse daarby aanpas en dit integreer. In Post-Apartheid Suid-Afrika bou ons tans ’n ras geïntegreerde besigheidsomgewing en gemeenskap, en benut dit maksimaal in ons toetrede tot die mededingende wêreld besigheidsarena. Huidige navorsing het bevind dat die meeste veranderingsinitiatiewe faal weens weerstand teen verandering wat deur swak konseptualisering en beplanning, en ’n gebrek aan behoorlike integrering van mense en die besigheidsdimensies van verandering veroorsaak is. Die model om ’n suksesvolle veranderingsprogram te implementeer, sal ontwerp word met geredelik beskikbare vaardighede en tegnieke. Die ontwikkeling en toetsing sal binne die konteks van drie gevallestudies plaasvind.

Many times, in the attempt to win or to maintain an advantageous position on the market, the economic agent will use a whole arsenal of practices (inclusively and mostly from the marketing field), most of them anticompetitive, with a negative impact on the business environment, which also affects the well-being of the consumer. The policy in the field of competition is the one that defines these types of behaviour and penalizes them depending on the importance of their negative impact, by creating a complex and coherent legislative and institutional mechanism. The right enforcement of the competition policy at the national level is the key in this process, but this should be coordinated with the regional and international objectives and regulations in this field. Romania is facing a double challenge: on the one side, it had to set up a competition policy, which was almost ignored before the90s, on the other side, it had to comply, recently, with high standards in the field, as an EU candidate. Now, as a member state, the promotion of a competition culture becomes a must, along with the design of an adequate system of information and knowledge dissemination for all of those involved. The paper is based on a original and qualitative research and aims at emphasising the increased necessity of the promotion of a competition culture for the competitiveness of the Romanian business environment on the European level in the new context of accession. This will help Romanian business to face the competition challenges within a more extended single European market, as an essential issue of the free market economy status recently granted, and accordingly to the most important EU objectives set up at Lisabon to become the most competitive economy in the world up to 2010.
